Testing

I have signed up for Google Alerts, where it scours the internet daily for my name and alerts me when it finds it. The hope is to catch any unauthorized usages of my work on the internet--which has happened by the way--and give me the chance to fix it.

I've been using it for three weeks and so far, nothing. I've found out that there is a prominent Democratic politician named John Sharp, and an Arkansas running back named John Sharpe. And there are lots of articles and blog entries with some form of John or F or Sharp in it and I get alerted to all of them.

So I'm hoping that if I post his blog entry it will show up.

I'll let you know.

It' called Google alerts and if you have gmail you can sign up for free right on the main gmail page.
